OverDrive Update November 14

Our digital service OverDrive will undergo an update on Monday, November 14. The upgrade will sport a new
interface that will make it easier to see new materials, recommend items to the library collection, and
even read in your preferred language with a new multilingual option. Get an advance
preview here and let us know what you think of the new OverDrive by clicking on the share your site
feedback link on the top of the page.

Is the Library Open?

If the North Rockland School District closes for the day, the library opens at 1 pm. If the weather is
still bad at 11:30 am, the library will not open. Library closings are announced on WHUD 100.7 FM and WRCR 1300 AM radio,
and on cancellations.com. No fines on snow days! Bring your items the following day.

Waiting for you Book Club

There have been many requests to increase the number of authors you can have reserved for you through our
Waiting for You Book Club. In order to make this happen, we need your help. If you are already a member, stop
by the reference desk, and we will photocopy the barcode on the back of your library card. This will allow
us to place your reserves much faster, so once you have done this, you may add additional authors to your list,
up to a maximum of 8.

If you are not already a part of this program, stop in and ask about it, and we'll be happy to explain how it
works. There will be no more worrying about missing the latest James Patterson or Danielle Steele title - we'll
put on a reserve for the Library. Don't forget to bring your library card when you come in to sign up, so we can
photocopy that barcode!

Museum Passes

Just because school is starting, don't forget that you can still borrow museum passes from the Library for
weekends or days off. We have passes for the American Museum of Natural History, the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space
Museum, Storm King Arts Center, the Guggenheim Museum, and more. Passes may be borrowed for three days and some
include discounts at museum stores. Most are good for two adults and their children, but please read the
details of each. Passes are found at the Circulation Desk; Library staff there will be happy to assist you.

Wireless Access Upgrade @ Main Library

Our free wireless internet service has recently been upgraded! Our faster wi-fi should now also reach more locations
within the main library building on all three levels. To use our wireless, connect to HKDPL Guest in your devices'
setting, open your web browser and accept our policy. That's it! No passwords needed. Drop by and take advantage of
this free service today!

Tablets You Can Borrow

After a successful run of senior tablet training programs, we will again be making both iPads and Android tablets
available for 14-day loans, with no renewals.

After some unfortunate experiences in the past, we ask that you please keep in mind that you will be responsible for full
replacement cost if a tablet is not returned on time, or if it is damaged. As always, we ask that you not download apps on
Library devices, or leave your own photos or passwords on them. Otherwise, drop by either library building to take one out!
